ABOUT
THE MUSCLE THERAPY
Sports Massage in Stockport – Built Around You
Experienced hands-on treatment. A more considered approach to pain and movement.
The Muscle Therapy is a sports massage and musculoskeletal clinic based in Hazel Grove, Stockport.
With over 10 years of experience, I work with people experiencing muscular discomfort, persistent tension and difficulties moving comfortably, whether that's related to training, work or everyday life.
Whatever brings you in, my aim is to understand what you're experiencing and provide treatment that feels appropriate for you.
My Approach – Looking Beyond the Muscles
Pain and discomfort aren't always as straightforward as a tight muscle or a particular movement.
Sleep, stress, activity levels, previous experiences and the demands of everyday life can all influence how your body feels.
That's why I take time to understand the person behind the symptoms, not just the area that's uncomfortable.
Alongside my hands-on clinical experience, I'm currently studying towards a qualification in psychotherapeutic counselling. This continues to shape how I listen, communicate and understand the relationship between our physical and emotional experiences.
Hands-on treatment remains central to what I do. It's simply informed by a wider understanding of the person receiving it.
Sports Massage and Deep Tissue Treatments
Every appointment is tailored to your needs, comfort and goals. There's no one-size-fits-all treatment.
Sports Massage and Deep Tissue Massage
Focused hands-on treatment to help manage muscular discomfort, tension and sensitivity, with pressure and techniques adapted to you.
Neck, Back and Shoulders
A targeted appointment for common areas of discomfort, whether related to desk work, physical demands or everyday stresses.
Full Body M.O.T.
A longer appointment allowing more time to discuss your concerns and provide hands-on treatment across multiple areas.
You don't need to be an athlete to book sports massage. I work with people from all walks of life who want to feel more comfortable in their bodies.
Why Choose The Muscle Therapy?
After more than a decade in practice, one thing that continues to shape my work is curiosity.
I'm interested in understanding not just where someone experiences pain, but the wider circumstances that might be influencing it.
That doesn't mean every problem has a simple explanation or that massage is the answer to everything.
It means listening carefully, providing skilled hands-on treatment and helping you make sense of what you're experiencing.
Create calm before creating change.

OUR THERAPIST
Imran Sajjad
Lead Practitioner, Massage Therapist
Hi! I'm Imran.
I'm a musculoskeletal sports massage therapist working out of B-Fit Gym in Hazel Grove, and if you've found your way here, there's a good chance something in your body has been asking for attention for longer than you'd like to admit. I get it. I've been there.
"I don't just want to know where it hurts. I want to understand the whole story."
My approach goes a bit deeper than most. Alongside my hands-on work, I'm training in psychotherapeutic counselling, because I genuinely believe that how we hold tension, how we breathe, and how we feel emotionally all show up in how our bodies move and ache. I bring that understanding into every session, without overwhelming you.
Away from the treatment table, train, climb, wrestle and get out in my campervan as much as I can. Because of this, I've had my own fair share of injuries, enough to know how frustrating it is to not feel like yourself, and how much difference the right support makes.
Whether you're dealing with something specific or just want to feel better in your body day to day, you're in the right place. I'll always take the time to actually listen, and you'll leave not just feeling better, but understanding yourself a little more clearly too.

I’ve been coming to Imran since Dec 2022 and now make it a priority to book at least once every 4-6 weeks. Imran has been great in alleviating any niggles, injuries or tightness brought on through bodybuilding which helps with recovery. Knowledge is top notch and always come out feeling fresher than when I went in
I’ve had treatment myself a number of times for a number of things from tight shoulders to lower back and hip issues. Always very professional, listens to what the patient wants and il continue to go back

Imran is very skilled and passionate. I've had neck and shoulder pain for months that won't go away regardless of how much I stretch and I was losing a lot of sleep with it. Not only did a deep tissue massage give me immediate relief and help me sleep much better, but Imran showed me different stretches that targeted the problem much more effectively. After only 4 days the problem has almost gone. I owe him my sanity. Highly recommended.
